The  Ansco  Wisiy 
to  Artistic  Results 

THE  delights  of  photography!   Do  you  know  them?  To 
note  and  indehbly  record  for  future  viewing  a  scene  of 
beauty  or  action — a  waterfall  in  a  flowered  glen — a 
child  at  play — a  speedy  train  or  automobile;  in  other 
words,  to  give  free  rein  and  full  development  to  our  love  for 
the  beautiful,  the  artistic,  the  unusual — in  all  these  lies  the 
charm  of  photography. 

If  you  have  denied  yourself  these  pleasure-thrills  it  can  be 
only  for  one  or  two  reasons — you  think  it  expensive — or  you 
think  it  beyond  your  skill.  Glance  through  this  little  book 
and  you  will  find  one  or  more  trustworthy  cameras  priced  to 
fit  your  purse.  Go  to  any  Ansco  dealer  and  in  ten  minutes 
he  will  show  you  how  easy  it  is  to  operate  an  Ansco.  You 
will  find  the  different  models  light,  compact  and  well  made. 
They  can  be  loaded  and  unloaded  with  the  Ansco  cartridge 
film  in  daylight.  The  film  may  be  developed  in  the  darkroom 
or  the  tank  in  full  daylight.  If  desired,  the  film  may  be  sent 
to  the  nearest  Ansco  dealer  to  be  developed,  and  finished  on 
Cyko  paper. 

Do  not  hesitate  to  invest  in  an  Ansco,  for  in  a  short  time 
you  will  find  yourself  amply  rewarded  for  your  enthusiasm 
by  pictures  that  will  never  fail  in  interest  to  you  and  your 
friends.  In  vacation  time  alone,  your  Ansco  will  prove  an 
inseparable  companion,  always  ready,  a  true  and  faithful  re- 
corder of  all  those  scenes  that  make  you  say,  "The  best  time 
I  ever  had." 


THE  DELIGHTS  OF  PHOTOGRAPHY 


If  you  are  already  a  follower  of  the  delightful  art  of  photog- 
raphy, for  pleasure  or  profit,  there  is  much  in  this  little  book 
that  you  can  read  to  your  advantage.  The  pages  on  Ansco 
film  and  Cyko  paper  form  the  basis  of  our  argument  that  the 
Ansco  way  is  the  absolutely  certain  way  to  faithful,  forceful, 
artistic  results. 


An  Ansco  Makes  a  Fine  Gift 

The  simplicity  and  everyday  usefulness  of  an  Ansco  make 
it  an  unusually  suitable  and  never-to-be-forgotten  gift  for 
young  or  old.  For  a  girl  or  boy  the  Ansco  will  prove  a  valu- 
able instructor  in  the  ways  and  beauties  of  nature.  Elbert 
Hubbard  stated  a  year  ago  that  photography  has  taken  its 
place  alongside  of  books  in  education,  and  Edison,  in  a  recent 
interview  published  in  The  Saturday  Evening  Post,  gives  facts 
to  show  that  photography  will  do  away  with  books  in  teach- 
ing the  race.    Make  your  next  gift  an  Ansco. 


The  Reason  for  Ansco  Quality 

It  is  a  strong  guarantee  of  highest  quality  that  the  manu- 
facturers of  Ansco  and  Cyko  products  are  the  pioneer  makers 
and  originators  of  professional  and  amateur  cameras,  and  the 
only  American  manufacturers  with  more  than  half  a  century 
experience.  Ninety-eight  per  cent,  of  all  professional  cameras 
made  in  this  country  were  made  by  the  Ansco  Company. 
They  know,  therefore,  the  requirements  for  highest  photo- 
graphic efficiency — and  how  these  can  be  simplified  for  the 
amateur  without  sacrificing  best  results.

THE  PICTURE  DIARY 


Children  Never  Grow  Old 
In  the  Ansco  Album 

The  family  album:  remember  the  pleasure  it  gave  you  to 
look  through  it,  and  how  you  wondered  at  the  strange  cos- 
tumes father  and  mother  wore  years  ago?  How  you  wished 
you  had  pictures  of  them  when  they  were  young  and  care- 
free— playing  about  at  grandma's  or  around  the  tree  at 
Christmas.    You  would  count  such  pictures  treasures  now. 

For  your  pleasure  in  later  years,  and  for  the  enjoyment  of 
all  who  come  after  you,  start  such  an  album  now.  The 
Ansco  will  help  you.  Every  day  the  children  at  play  uncon- 
sciously strike  some  charming  pose  that  attracts  you.  Get  it 
with  the  Ansco.  Take  pictures  of  the  children  from  the  time 
they  crawl  and  talk  and  walk,  and  on  up  till  they  reach  the 
"grown-up"  age,  and  don't  forget  the  older  folks.  Add  their 
pictures  to  your  Ansco  album.  Make  it  a  family  history  in 
picture.  The  informal,  everyday  "snapshots"  you  take  of  the 
family  will  become  more  dear  to  you  by  supplementing  the 
more  formal  studio  poses. 

No  Matter  What  the  Picture 
Ansco  Film  Will  Give  You  True  Color  Values 

A  dry-point  or  an  etching  by  Whistler  has  in  the  fine  shades 
of  black  and  white  all  the  force  of  the  color  values  which  the 
camera  makes  possible  with  the  Ansco  film. 

All  film  may  be  truthfully  advertised  as  being  orthochro- 
matic,  for  there  is  no  difficulty  in  making  a  film  sensitive  to 
one  or  more  colors.    The  art  is  to  make  it  sensitive  to  the 

5 


COLOR  VALUES 


right  colors  and  in  the  proper  degree,  so  as  to  produce  the 
various  tints  of  black  and  white  necessary  to  create  the  cor- 
rect impression.    This  has  been  done  with  Ansco  film. 

In  view  work,  where  there  are  clouds  or  foliage  or  great 
distances,  all  details  show  clearly  and  a  harmony  of  light  and 
shade  is  obtained  with  Ansco  film.  In  portrait  work, 
draperies,  dresses,  etc.,  are  reproduced  in  their  true  color 
values.  Auburn  hair  will  be  shown  in  a  different  tone  from 
black  hair;  blue  eyes  will  not  look  almost  white. 


Use  Ansco  Film 

It's  the  film  that  makes  the  picture,  and  this  should  be 
carefully  considered  by  you,  whether  your  film  camera  is  an 
Ansco  or  another  make.  Ansco  film  fits  all  standard 
cameras. 

There  are  many  dealers  bound  by  agreement  to  other 
manufacturers  who  will  endeavor  to  sell  you  a  film  of  some 
other  kind.  But  you  should  try  Ansco  film  and  then  let  the 
results  determine  which  film  you  will  continue  to  use. 

The  Ansco  Film  is  the  Original, 
Genuine,  Perfect  Film 

The  patent  for  the  first  camera  film  was  applied  for  by  the 
Rev.  Hannibal  Goodwin  in  1887.  Owing  to  interference  pro- 
ceedings in  the  U.  S.  Patent  Office,  Dr.  Goodwin's  patent  was 
not  issued  till  1898.  All  Ansco  films  are  made  by  a  process 
which  grew  out  of  the  one  patented  by  Dr.  Goodwin.  This 
is  why  we  say  that  the  Ansco  film  has  behind  it  years  of 
experience  of  the  highest  order.

Develop  Your  Own  Films 
Then  Print  Them  on  Cyko  Paper 

If  you  have  never  done  your  own  developing  and  printing, 
try  it.  It's  intensely  interesting  and  really  simple  after  a  few 
trials. 

You  start  with  a  roll  of  Ansco  film  that  contains,  say  your 
vacation  pictures.  In  the  dim  light  from  the  ruby  lamp  in 
your  darkroom,  the  film  shows  no  indication  of  the  camera's 
work.  As  you  slowly  draw  the  film  through  the  developer, 
you  note  with  anxious  interest  each  image  as  it  slowly  grows 
to  the  scene  you  remember.  "Will  it  turn  out  right?"  "I  won- 
der if  I  gave  that  enough  time?"— these  will  probably  be  some 
of  your  thoughts.  And  when  all  are  developed,  you  are  justly 
proud  of  your  work — you  have  mastered  the  second  step  in 
photography — you  have  helped  create  something. 

And  then  comes  the  "printing,"  when  Cyko  paper  will 
prove  its  value  to  the  amateur.  Read  on  page  45  to  find  out 
just  why. 

If  you  don't  care  to  do  your  own  printing,  any  dealer  will 
make  your  prints  on  Cyko  paper. 

Time  after  time  pictures  printed  on  Cyko  paper  have  won 
the  Grand  Prize  at  photographic  exhibitions,  thus  proving  its 
high  quality. 


THE  IMPORTANT  SHUTTER  QUESTION 


Optimo  Shutter 


]\ /TANY  attempts  have  been  made  in  the  past  few  years  to  produce  a 
thoroughly  satisfactory  between-the-lens  shutter  fast  enough  to  photo- 
graph successfully  rapidly  moving  objects,  but  simple,  compact  and  reliable. 
To  meet  the  undoubted  demand  for  a  shutter  of  this  description  the  "Optimo" 
was  designed,  and  we  believe  that  it  answers  all  requirements  as  it  has  many 
advantages  over  present  models  besides  high  speed.  The  five  leaves  revolve  in 
making  the  exposure,  one  end  passing  from  the  opening  and  the  other  end 
taking  its  place,  which  makes  high  speed  possible,  and  in  opening  and  closing 
it  shows  a  star-shaped  aperture,  the  points  of  the  star  reaching  to  the  edges 
of  the  opening,  thus  giving  the  greatest  possible  illumination  to  the  plate. 
Besides  "bulb"  and  "time,"  the  Optimo  has  a  range  of  automatically  con- 
trolled exposures  ranging  from  one  second  to  1-300  of  a  second,  the  latter 
being  sufficiently  fast  to  cover  any  emergency.  Although  working  at  such  a 
great  speed,  it  sets  and  releases  easily  by  push  buttons  and  operates  without 
jar  or  recoil.  It  is  readily  adjusted  for  any  desired  exposure  by  means  of  a 
large  milled  disk  and  has  iris  diaphragm  regulated  by  a  separate  lever.  A 
much  higher  speed  is  claimed  for  some  shutters  but  we  believe  the  Optimo  to 
be  fast  enough  for  all  purposes  and  invite  comparative  tests.

THE  IMPORTANT  SHUTTER  QUESTION 


Ansco  Automatic  Shutter 


"pXPERIENCE  has  demonstrated  that  a  shutter  accurate 
in  action  and  working  with  precision  must  necessarily  be 
a  carefully  adjusted  instrument,  and,  therefore,  easily  affected 
if  abused  in  handling  and  if  allowed  to  become  clogged  with 
dirt.  This  question  has  been  satisfactorily  solved  for  us  by 
the  Wollensak  Optical  Company  who  originated  the  first  self- 
setting  shutter  ever  made.  The  Ansco  Automatic  embodies 
many  new  principles  in  shutter  construction,  all  working 
parts  being  concealed  in  a  neat  outer  casing,  and  thus  entirely 
protected  from  dust  and  injury.  The  various  exposures  are 
governed  by  a  lever  at  the  top  of  the  shutter,  which  is  much 
easier  to  operate  than  a  disk.  In  addition  to  "time"  and 
"bulb"  it  gives  6  degrees  of  speed  in  making  instantaneous 
exposures  from  1  to  100th  part  of  a  second. 

The  Ansco  Automatic  is  provided  with  iris  diaphragms  to 
control  the  size  of  lens  opening,  and  with  finger  and  bulb 
releases.  The  body  case  is  silver  finished,  levers  in  polished 
nickel  and  scale  plates  in  black  with  silver  letters. 


THE  IMPORTANT  SHUTTER  QUESTION 


Cyko  Automatic  Shutter 


'T^HIS  shutter  is  in  construction  and  appearance  similar  to 
the  Ansco  Automatic,  and  was  devised  for  the  lower 
price  Ansco  Folding  Cameras.  It  differs  from  the  Ansco 
Automatic  in  that  it  is  a  single  valve  shutter  and  lacks  the 
lower  speeds  of  automatic  exposures,  but  the  "bulb  exposure" 
answers  the  purpose.  Otherwise  the  shutter  is  automatic  in 
its  action  and  has  all  the  working  parts  enclosed  in  a  neat 
outer  casing. 

This  and  the  other  shutters  fitted  to  Ansco  Cameras  are 
made  by  the  Wollensak  Optical  Co.,  Rochester,  N.  Y.,  who 
guarantee  them  to  us  and  to  our  customers.  In  case  the 
shutter  should  need  repairing  it  will  save  time  to  send  it  direct 
to  the  manufacturers.

Junior  Shutter 


'pHIS  shutter,  which  is  the  one  fitted  to  the  Ansco  Junior 
Camera,  is  a  self-setting  shutter  operated  by  a  bulb 
and  is  automatic  in  action.  It  has  a  very  neat  appearance,  the 
body  case  being  finished  in  black  enamel  and  the  levers  in 
polished  nickel.  It  is  provided  with  "time,"  "bulb"  and 
instantaneous  exposures  and  with  iris  diaphragm,  allowing 
lens  openings  from  U.  S.  8  to  128.

"  time,"  "  bulb  "  and  instantaneous  exposures  and  with  iris 
diaphragm,  giving  lens  openings  from  U.  S.  16  to  256.  The

Ansco  Anasti^mat  Lens 
for  1913 

'T^HE  lens  is  the  most  important  part  of  a  camera.     Our 
experience  of  sixty  years  in  the  manufacture  and  sale  of 
cameras  has  demonstrated  this  beyond  a  doubt. 

The  lens  feature  of  the  Ansco  Cameras  for  1913  has  received 
our  first  consideration,  and  we  have  secured  for  each  model 
the  highest  quality  and  the  most  advanced  type  of  lens 
possible  within  the  price  of  each  instrument.  Any  limitation 
compared  with  high-grade  Anastigmats  has  been  compensated 
by  the  general  construction  and  the  speed  of  the  shutter. 

We  have  also  carefully  considered  the  requirements  of  the 
amateur  who  may  wish  to  make  pictures  under  adverse  con- 
ditions, possible  only  with  a  high-grade  Anastigmat.  After 
the  most  painstaking  tests  and  comparisons,  we  decided  in 
favor  of  the  Ansco  Anastigmat.  The  Ansco  Anastigmat  is  a 
lens  of  general  application;  that  is,  as  nearly  universal  as 
possible.  There  is  no  one  lens  that  will  do  every  kind  of  work 
equally  well,  but  the  Ansco  Anastigmat  will  do  the  greatest 
number  of  things  best.  It  will  give  perfect  satisfaction  for 
portraits,  landscapes,  architectural  work,  interiors,  and  may 
be  used  as  a  long  focus  lens.  It  meets  the  one  lens  requirement 
of  amateur  photography,  which  comprises  all  the  recognized 
branches  of  photographic  activity. 

Each  Ansco  Camera  that  will  admit  of  a  different  lens  from 
that  included  in  the  regular  equipment  is  listed  on  page  40 
with  Ansco  Anastigmat  lenses,  also  with  Goerz  Dagor,  under 
the  caption,  "  Special  Lens  and  Shutter  Equipment."

n^HE  3^x5}4  camera  is  certainly  a  very  popular  size  as 
-*-  evidenced  by  the  popularity  of  the  No.  9  and  No.  10  Ansco 
Cameras,  and  those  who  depend  on  the  Buster  Brown  family, 
which  has  so  far  managed  to  supply  cameras  nearly  Ansco 
in  construction  but  at  exceedingly  low  prices,  have  been 
looking  for  a  new  addition  in  the  shape  of  a  3,^4^x5^2  camera. 
For  their  benefit  the  No.  3A  Folding  Buster  Brown  is  manu- 
factured. This  instrument  has  black  leather  bellows  and  is 
covered  with  seal  grain  imitation  leather  and  has  nickelplated 
fittings.

Ansco  V-P 

The  Ansco  V-P  is  a  Handy 
Little  Camera 


Can  Be  Slipped  Into  Coat,  Vest 
or  Hip  Pocket 

TT  is  not  always  convenient  to  carry  the  usual  size  of  folding 
or  box  camera,  however  much  it  is  wanted.  In  such  cases, 
the  Ansco  Vest  Pocket  Camera  will  prove  a  thoroughly  re- 
liable substitute.  It  is  so  fiat,  so  small,  it  can  be  easily  slipped 
into  a  coat,  vest  or  hip  pocket,  where  it  can  be  reached  at  a 
moment's  notice. 

The  making  of  snapshots  with  the  Ansco  V-P  is  extremely 
simple,  since  it  is  fitted  with  a  lens  that  is  always  in  focus,  no 
matter  what  the  distance  may  be.  The  six-exposure  film  cart- 
ridge used  is  a  standard  size  in  all  makes  of  films,  and  may  be 
obtained  all  over  the  world.  Excellent  enlargements  can 
be  made  from  pictures  made  with  this  little  camera.

Ansco  V-P 


It  is  made  of  metal  throughout,  covered  with  seal  leather. 
It  takes  a  picture  2%  x2>}i  inches. 

The  Ansco  V-P  is  quick  in  action.  One  pull  of  the  front 
extends  the  bellows  by  means  of  a  lazy  tongs  arrangement 
and  automatically  clamps  it  ready  to  snap  any  object  from  8 
feet  distance  to  infinity.  It  requires  no  focusing.  The 
method  of  loading  and  unloading  is  so  simple  and  accurate 
that  no  description  is  necessary.  Every  Ansco  V-P,  however, 
is  sold  with  an  instruction  book.  When  an  Ansco  V-P  is 
folded  it  looks  more  like  a  lady's  jeweled  cardcase  than  a 
camera.    The  red  peep-hole  is  the  only  indication.

IMPORTANT  DETAIL  IN  CONSTRUCTION  OF 
FOLDING  CAMERAS 


Back  View  of  Ansco  Folding  Cameras 


Open— Showing  the  new  Spool-holding  Arrangement 


A  LL  Ansco  and  Buster  Brown  Folding  Cameras  are  con- 
structed with  a  safety  spool-holding  arrangement  and  with 
a  spring  spoon  which  acts  like  two  human  fingers  under  the 
roll  of  exposed  film.  It  holds  the  film  taut  in  winding  so  that 
no  light  can  fog  the  edges  of  the  film.  It  serves  also  to  hold 
down  the  free  end  of  the  film  when  all  exposures  have  been 
made.  Then,  when  you  are  ready  to  take  out  the  spool,  this 
spoon  lifts  it  out  easily.  In  all  other  makes  of  film  cameras 
it  is  necessary  at  times  to  pry  out  the  roll  with  a  knife,  and  in 
doing  this  the  entire  roll  is  likely  to  become  unrolled,  thus 
ruining  the  pictures.  Comparison  is  necessary  to  appreciate 
the  precision,  efficiency  and  value  of  this  improvement. 

The  illustration  also  shows  the  closing  arrangement  of 
Ansco  Cameras.  The  back  can  never  be  accidentally  opened, 
thus  doing  away  entirely  with  the  possibility  of  ever  spoiling 
a  roll  of  film  in  this  way.

era— it  was  doing  its  best.  But  right  then  and  there  you  re-

And  here  it  is — the  No.  10  Folding  Pocket  Ansco  Special.

or  fast  time  exposures  in  dull  lights,  this  superb  Ansco  will 
get  the  picture  and  get  it  right.  The  lens  is  a  high-grade 
Anastigmat  working  at  F  6.  3,  with  Optimo  shutter,  a  combi- 
nation which  is  hard  to  beat.  And  they  will  be  pictures  that 
you  can  show  with  pride. 

This  Ansco  Camera  is  especially  made  for  those  who  desire 
an  instrument  of  absolute  precision  in  workmanship,  finish

No.  lA  Folding  Pocket  Ansco 


SPECIFICATIONS:  For  pictures  2'/  x  4'^  inches;  adapted  for  six  or  twelve 
exposure  Film  (6A  or  6B). 
Dimensions,  l^i  x  3?/8  x  8'  a  inches.  Weight,  29  ounces.  Lens,  Ansco 
Double  Rapid  Symmetrical.  Fitted  with  Ansco  Automatic  Shutter,  as 
per  description  on  p.  9.  Focal  length  of  lens  4's  inches,  working  at

"pXPERTS  are  divided  on  certain  points  in  camera  construc- 
tion. Some  are  partisans  of  the  mahogany  body,  others  of 
the  aluminum  body;  some  attach  great  importance  to  a  camera 
opening  the  long  way  of  the  film,  others  are  ready  to  sacrifice 
this  feature.  We  have  worked  hard  and  will  continue  to  work 
hard  to  satisfy  everybody,  hence  the  new  addition  of  the  alu- 
minum body  round-cornered  cameras  to  the  Ansco  line,  which 

35 


ANSCO  SERIES 


begins  with  the  2H  x  A^A  size,  which  is  so  desirable  for 
all-around  amateur  pictures.  Other  sizes  of  the  same  model 
will  follow  and  will  be  listed  in  subsequent  catalogs. 

The  No.  1 A  Folding  Pocket  Ansco  opens  in  position  for  panel 
pictures,  and  to  obviate  the  handicap  of  other  cameras  of 
similar  construction,  that  is,  to  make  it  quickly  and  accurately 
adjustable  for  pictures  the  long  way  of  the  film  or  plate,  it  is 
provided  with  a  new  patented  device  in  the  shape  of  a  finder 
which  automatically  reverses  the  position  of  the  finder-plane 
to  correspond  with  the  focal  plane  of  the  Ansco.  In  other 
words,  so  that  the  shape  and  field  of  the  picture  seen  of  a 
miniature  size  in  the  finder  will  be  identical  with  the  actual 
picture  taken  on  the  film;  thus,  there  will  be  no  chances  of 
cutting  off  a  pretty  girl's  head  or  leaving  out  a  tree  or  other 
object  intended  to  be  shown  in  the  picture.  The  illustration 
of  the  Ansco  brilliant  piano  reversible  finder  will  make  clear 
this  important  forward  stride  in  camera  finders. 

The  automatic  adjustable  focusing  scale  is  another  feature 
worthy  of  consideration,  for  with  it  the  changes  necessary  for 
different  distances  are  made  quickly  and  with  remarkable 
precision. 

The  instrument  is  provided  with  footrests  for  both  vertical 
and  horizontal  time  pictures,  and  these  rests  fold  out  of  sight 
behind  the  lens  plate  when  not  in  use.  It  is  altogether  a 
beautiful  camera  with  its  rich  seal  grain  covering  and  heavily 
nickeled  and  polished  metal  fittings.

Dry  Plate  Attachment  for  No.  3A  Folding  Pocket  Ansco. 

'T^HE  engraving  showing  the  separate  parts  of  the  wonderful 
■^    automatic  exact  radius  finder  will  give  a  partial  idea  of 
the  value  included  in  the  No.  3A  Folding  Pocket  Ansco  for 
the  exceedingly  low  price  at  which  it  is  listed. 

This  new  finder  adds  considerably  to  the  cost  of  manufac- 
ture, but  is  a  great  forward  stride  in  finder  construction  as  it 
makes  it  absolutely  impossible  for  the  user  to  leave  out  of  the 
picture  by  oversight  or  miscalculation  an  important  object 
desired  to  be  included.

Ansco  Dry  Plate  Attachment 


"^TE  supply  this  attachment,  or  rather  interchangeable  back, 
for  those  who  desire  to  use  dry  plates  instead  of  films  in 
the  Ansco  Cameras  Nos.  4,  5,  6,  7,  9  and  10. 

When  the  Ansco  Dry  Plate  Attachment  is  substituted  for 
the  film  back,  the  Ansco  camera  does  not  vary  in  appearance. 
It  remains  the  same  only  that  it  then  takes  a  double  dry  plate 
holder.

THE  PAPER  FOR  PRIZE-WINNING  PICTURES 


Cyko  Paper 


r^YKO  is  a  paper  of  the  development  class  which  prints  at 
any  time,  in  any  light  and  from  all  classes  of  negatives. 
It  is  the  paper  that  makes  it  possible  for  the  amateur,  who  is 
generally  too  busy  throughout  the  day,  to  utilize  his  evening 
hours  making  prints  from  his  negatives,  and  it  is  the  paper 
that  should  be  used  to  secure  the  best  prints,  whether  from 
glass  plate  or  film  negatives,  for  the  following  reasons : 


Cyko  Has  Latitude 

We  will  explain  what  this  means : 

No  one,  even  an  expert,  can,  by  looking  at  a  negative,  de- 
termine exactly  how  long  to  print  it  (expose  it)  so  as  to  make 
a  perfect  picture.  With  Cyko,  if  the  right  time  is  20  seconds 
and  you  happen  to  give  it  15,  the  print  will  still  be  good.  It 
will  take  a  little  longer  to  develop  and  that's  all.  With  any 
other  paper  the  print  will  be  poor  because  if  you  force  the 
development  it  will  fog — the  print  will  be  gray — flat— without 
detail,  and  lifeless. 

45 


.^N.        THE  PAPER  FOR  PRIZE-WINNING  PICTURES       .Av 


Cyko  Has  Tone  Gradations 

Almost  every  negative  has  thin  parts — almost  clear  glass 
at  times  (under  exposed  shadows)  and  dense  portions  (fully 
exposed  high  lights).  With  other  papers  the  resulting  print 
will  consist  of  burnt  black  paper  on  one  side  and  chalky  white 
on  the  other.  With  Cyko  the  shadows  will  be  there  to  be 
sure,  but  full  of  transparency,  allowing  the  details  to  show  in 
a  low  tone.  The  high  lights  will  also  be  there,  full  of  middle 
tints  and  detail.  In  other  words,  the  light  and  shadows  blend 
so  harmoniously  through  such  soft  progressive  gradation  of 
tones  that  there  is  no  strong  dividing  line. 


Cyko  is  Made  in  Three  Grades 

Designated  as  Contrast,  Normal,  Soft. 

Anyone  can  tell  whether  a  negative  is  thin,  of  normal 
density  or  contrastive.  For  a  thin  negative  Contrast  Cyko 
is  used ;  for  a  normal  negative  Normal  Cyko  is  used,  and  for 
a  contrastive  negative  Soft  Cyko  will  give  a  beautiful  print. 


Cyko  is  Made  in  Four  Surfaces 

To  suit  the  subject  of  your  negative,  as  follows:  Glossy 
Cyko  has  a  surface  with  a  high  gloss  similar  to  the  old 
P.  o.  p.  glossy  gelatin  paper.  Semi-matte  Cyko  has  an 
ivory-like  matte  surface  closely  resembling  that  of  very 
smooth  Platinum  paper.  Studio  Cyko  has  a  surface  identical 
with  that  of  Matte  Collodion  P.  o.  P. ;  that  is,  a  matte  surface 
with  a  slight  sheen  which  gives  a  velvety  or  satin  appearance 
to  the  print.  Plat  Cyko  has  a  surface  identical  with  that  of 
the  original  Platinum  with  a  rich,  almost  imperceptible  grain.
